That’s so anti-climactic… Yet surprisingly fitting. Still, I get the sense that the writers just thought, “Eh, Midoriya is already out, doesn’t really matter, might as well not waste the time choreographing an entire fight”.

To be honest I think it makes sense. Todoroki is still dealing with some serious childhood trauma and Midoriya just went and brought it all up again, so he’s dealing with that. I wouldn’t be able to get into the fight after that either. Bakugo on the other hand gets exactly what he wants in exactly the way he didn’t want it, and it’ll piss him off for a good while to maybe come back later as something used to help make him examine himself, since he seems to be the most unwilling to do so. Even more than Todoroki.
